Article on Smash's 20th anniversary

I just read an article that talks about Smash's 20th anniversary, which is actually not until next year. The article also mentions a reissue to celebrate that anniversary, which I hope will come with a DVD containing the making of the record or a bonus CD with live or unreleased tracks recorded during the Smash era.

You know, I never even stopped to think about all the time that's gone by. 20th anniversary of Smash, 25th anniversary of their first record, and 30th anniversary of... The Offspring.

Can't wait for all the festivities that will commence; I read how Dexter planned to juggle the anniversaries of both Smash and The Offspring when it comes to touring, and do something similar to Ignition where they play through the albums live. Can't wait.

I like the sound of re-issues as well. They already remastered Smash in 2008, but maybe we'll get something else (I'm hoping for the outtakes). When Nirvana's Nevermind had it's 20th Anniversary, there was an extensive release of everything the band recorded during the ara on additional disks (b-sides, live tracks, demos). While I don't expect anything that crazy, I'm hoping we get something. "Mission From God" was a lost gem for 13 years.

I'm hoping the The Offspring LP doesn't get neglected, either. It's been lacking a re-release for a while now, and has lacked attention. At least give us a remastered version.

I don't think we will get anything similar to Mission from God... I would love to hear the original intro of self esteem tho...
